The child saw the handgun in the parents’ bedroom and put it in his mouth, where it went off.

They always say "Nobody is saying it's OK" and then in the next breath start to make excuses for why it's totally OK to have this level of gun violence. They don't really care, and I wish they'd just fucking admit it.

The most ironic part is that the other countries that have solved the problem have NOT gotten rid of guns. They just made them harder to get, and forced people to ACTUALLY be responsible gun owners, as opposed to the bullshit that is the second amendment. You CAN get a gun in Canada, the UK, and Japan. But you have to pass tests and get licenses and register them.

But the gun nuts are too selfish. They don't want to do those things. They like having it be so easy to get their guns. And they constantly say so while at the same time paying lip service to "not wanting these things to happen". Maybe nobody WANTS these things to happen, but they DO HAPPEN, and it's about GIVING A SHIT and maybe trying to stop these things from happening. Not pretending like nothing can be done, as if it hasn't already been done SUCCESSFULLY in every other civilized nation.

It's actually quite sickening. I've had people here call my views "extreme". Extreme as, I suppose, the law of the land in Canada, Britain, Australia, Japan, pretty much most of Europe, actually, and everywhere else where they don't have a gun problem. Extreme. Jesus Christ.
